<VV> EM loose Steering

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Dave,

Usually the gears don't really wear much, it's the bushings.  That  
said, the simplest thing is to put a Flaming River box in it, you get  
all new parts and a slightly faster ratio.  Check with Seth Emerson,  
he had a lot to do with getting the production set up, and can tell  
you if you need any adapters (I think it's a bolt in to your car).
